[WWE's music playing]
[male voice] Then
[WWE's music playing]
[commentator] Ooh! This is…
[male voice] Now
[WWE's music playing]
[wrestler] …You can´t see me!
[male voice] Forever
[WWE's music playing]
[male voice] Together
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] The atmosphere is always unmatched.
The action is always unpredictable.
Welcome to NXT.
[crowd cheering]
[Bron Breakker music playing]
[announcer] Please welcome
the NXT champion, Bron Breakker.
[Vic] Book, you have been
on Bron Breakker's side since day one.
[Booker T] Yes, man.
I love everything.
When I say everything, I mean everything
about this kid right here.
No bread, no water.
Just… [Vic and Booker] meat!
[Laughs]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Can only imagine
what is on the mind of the NXT champion.
After what we witnessed last week,
we do know that certain individuals
are watching the champ's every move.
[crowd cheering]
[Bron Breakker music playing]
[fans barking]
-[crowd screaming] -[Bron barking]
[Bron] Halloween Havoc
was a monumental night for NXT.
It was a monumental night
for that entire locker room
I'm not just talking about just for me.
I'm talking about guys like Wes Lee
who climbed the ladder
and captured North America championship.
Guys like Julius Creed
in an ambulance match.
[Pretty Deadly's music playing]
[Kit] Ooh!
I have had enough of this nonsense.
Oh, look, Eli.
it's our glorious
and exalted NXT champion…
Bron Breakker.
Yes. There he is, Kit.
Doing the same thing he always does
after he narrowly squeaks out
a victory to keep his title.
[Barking]
[Kit barking] I'm Bron Breakker.
[Barking]
[Kit imitating] I'm still NXT champion.
By god, that was a scrap.
[Eli] I'm a rough and tough fighting champion.
Where my next dog at? Step up.
[Eli immitating] Where my dogs at?
[crowd barking]
[Eli] You're the absolute worse
and we're sick of it.
[Bron laughs]
[English accent] Well, excuse me, mates.
What do you two wankers want?
[Kit and Eli] Ooh!
[Kit] You do not talk
to NXT's dandiest handymen like that.
[crowd] Wankers! Wankers!
[Kit] It's bad enough having Wes Lee out here
doing his academy award
acceptance speech last week.
And now we have to endure this?
Endure this?
[Eli] We should have started tonight's show.
Oh, what?
You defended your championship, did you?
What? For the millionth time
and you're really cool
'cause you can beat people up
left, right, center?
Big deal, Bron.
We retained our championships last week.
Dare I say, that our defense was bigger,
so where's our glittering parade
because we deserve all the attention?
[Kit] It's the pomp.
It's the circumstance, Bron.
Our moment in the sun to bask in glory,
bask in the rays of success.
Not like you,
not like Wes Lee
and his lifetime movie segments.
[Kit] I like the sound of that, boy. I like it.
The Pretty Deadly spotlight.
[Wes Lee's music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Wes Lee] No, no, no.
I can't listen to this anymore.
For the sake of everyone,
Pretty Deadly… Shut up!
[crowd cheering]
Bron, I greatly appreciate the words, man.
[Kit] Appreciate it?
Appreciate it?
You know who I don't appreciate?
It's you, Wes.
[Eli] This is about us, okay?
Can we get back to us, please?
[Bron] Know what? How about you guys quit bitching
if you weren't in the back
combing your hair for hours
before the show, you would've been
out here first.
[Wes] Oh… No, slow down.
Wait one second.
We got to give them credit because…
They do have beautiful hair.
[unintelligible]
Get a closer look. Look at how…
[audience] Touch the hair!
[Eli] Uh?
[crowd chanting "greasy hair"]
[Eli] Come on!
-[Bron] They do have great hair. -[Wes] Right?
[Wes] Like angel hair.
[Bron] It is.
You know what? You're right, Wes.
I do take it too far sometimes.
I'm gonna take a step back,
let you guys have the spotlight.
[Wes] Look at the growth of this man.
[Kit] Oh, my god.
Thank you, Bronson. That's lovely.
You know what?
I'm gonna give you an introduction.
[Eli] My gosh, this is unexpected.
Kit, Kit. Come on, come on.
[Wes] Please, welcome to the ring,
two of the tastiest snacks of NXT.
[crowd cheering]
[Wes] Your NXT tag team champions…
[Wes and Bron] Pretty Deadly.
[crowd cheering]
[Eli] Wow. Wow. Thank you, guys.
Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
Well, now everything's finally in order
and where it should be.
I think it's time for a…
[Eli and Kit] Side plate check.
Oosh! Oosh! Oosh! Oosh! Oosh!
[Bron] Hey, hey. Guys, guys.
You know…
If you are going to start the show,
it's bound that somebody's going
to come out here and interrupt you.
[Wes] Yes. Like…
there's a pattern to this.
You two start talking,
but someone comes up and interrupts you.
It's usually for those titles.
[Eli] Well, who's coming for our titles, then?
Oh, it's us.
-[Bron laughs] -[crowd cheering]
[Wes] You see, I really miss
the tag team titles,
and Bron Bron here has never held them.
Know what? You're right, Wes.
[crowd chanting]
[Bron] And because you guys claim
to be the best champions in NXT,
why don't you guys put those titles
on the line against us tonight?
[crowd cheering]
[Eli] I knew I never liked you.
[Kit] You know what?
You know what, boys?
You think you're going to embarrass us.
Well tonight, we have the last laugh.
[Bron] We'll see who's smiling
when Wes and I are holding up our new
tag team championships.
[crowd cheering]
[Eli] Know what, Kit, opening the show sucks.
There's no way tonight can get any worse!
[R-Truth's music playing]
[R-Truth] Y'all know what time it is.
This is the part where we crank it up.
Y'all ready? Y'all ready? Here we go.
♪ People over there, what's up? ♪
[Book] Yeah…

[Book laughing hysterically]
[Bron] Yeah, baby!
[Vic] The party has started here on NXT.
When we come back, it's R-Truth,
it's Grayson Waller. It's next live on NXT.
[crowd cheering]
-Y'all ready? -[crowd] Yeah!
♪ What's up? ♪
[Vic] Back on NXT.
We are live, and Book, the party hasn't stopped
throughout the entire commercial break.
[Book laughing]
[Book] That's true, Vic.
[Grayson Waller's music playing]
[Vic] Oh, you talk about a wet blanket being thrown out in the festivities.
[Bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring, Grayson Waller.
[crowd booing]
[crowd screaming]
[Vic] We are set for one-on-one action.
-[Book] Oh, yeah. -[Vic] Once again, Grayson Waller's
actions have gotten him in some trouble, Book.
[Book] I like this kid, man.
[Book] Look at his actions.
Just look at the charisma of this kid.
He oozes of charisma.
His wrestling a little suspect.
We can work on that.
Let's see exactly what's happening here.
-[Bell rings] -[Vic] He's has upped his game since--
[Waller] You're going to realize right now this is my house.
You show me respect. I run this.
[crowd] Ooh!
[Vic laughing]
[Vic] As I said, his mouth got him in trouble.
[Book] That's what you got to do.
[Vic] You talk about Grayson.
He's upped his game this year.
He's had big match situations.
He's taking on some of the best.
Not only R-Truth,
but also AJ Styles earlier this year
right here on NXT.
He is in there with someone who is a 54-time WWE 24/7 champion,
-[Book laughing] -[Vic] US champion, tag team champion
[Book] Oh! Beautiful!
[Vic] R-truth.
[Book] R-Truth, man. He's been in the game a long time.
He knows each and every inch of that 20x20,
and let me ask you a question.
What's up? [Laughs]
[Vic] I walked into that one, didn't I?
-[Book] Yeah. -[Vic] I'm getting some news right now,
It's official.
Later tonight, after what we just witnessed,
the NXT tag team titles
will be on the line.
Could Breakker and Lee become double champions tonight?
I got a text earlier from Wade Barett.
He said, he is looking forward to the one-year celebration.
He's at home with three Toxic Attraction cut outs around him.
The boy is weird.
-[Book] Talking about Mandy Rose. -[Vic] He's got some issues.
[Book] Mandy said she is truly the be-- she's the goat right now.
[Vic] She certainly is, and that one-year celebration live here tonight.
In the moment it's Waller, it's R-Truth.
-[Book] Yeah… -[Vic] I want to ask you this
How should any NXT talent approach a match
against a superstar from raw or Smack Down?
[Book] First of all, you don't want to find yourself in a situation like that,
-[Book] but if you do-- -[Vic] Oh…
-[Vic] Do you see him mocking… -[Book] I like that.
-[Vic] R-Truth's hero? -[Book] He can´t-- When I found myself
with "Macho Man" Savage once upon a time,
and I say, just got to go out here and get it done.
Did I get it done? No, I didn't. I got beat.
-[Book laughing]. -[Vic] At least you're honest about it.
[Vic] R-Truth now back in control.
Look, it's hard to argue.
R-Truth he's a national treasure.
[Book] Like Indiana Jones in the temple of doom.
Looking for one of those rare jewels.
You said it, this kid R-Truth over 20 years
and he's still moving like he's 20 years old.
-[Vic] True. -[Book] Look at that.
[Book] Beautiful, baby. Look at the switch on the hips.
[Vic] A big hip toss from Truth.
-[Book] No. That's a high hip lock. -[Vic] Hip what?
[Book] Hip lock takeover. That's what that was, man.
[Vic] R-Truth had quite the back and forth on Raw
with hall of famer JBL and Baron Corbin,
but has brought the energy here tonight,
and then just got dropped by Waller.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Yes, and there's that arrogant smile
of the arrogant aussie. I'll say this.
Some have said Waller is his own worst enemy at times.
[Book] I agree with that.
Sometimes you got to be able to get out of your own way.
Pick your matches like this.
I wouldn't say he's the best matchmaker or anything like that
but if you can get a win, you put yourself on the map, son.
[Vic] Look at Truth, though, just frustrating Waller,
and the veteran experience of R-Truth.
-[Vic] What a right hand. -[Book laughing]
[Vic] What's on Truth's mind?
-[Vic] Truth now. -[Book] Oh no!
[Vic] You got to be kidding me!
[Vic] Truth taking it to the air.
[Book] My god. Truth didn't get all of that right there.
-[Book] I'm wondering if Truth-- -[Vic] Did he get enough of it?
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] We are back live on NXT.
As you witnessed throughout the commercial break,
WWE medical staff
is checking on R-Truth.
[Bell rings]
[female announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, per the referee's decision,
R-Truth is no longer able to compete.
Therefore, the winner of the match is Grayson Waller.
[crowd cheering]
[Grayson Waller's music plays]
[Vic] The referee had to use his own discretion.
We talked about the officials in NXT before.
Let's go back to some of the action, and it was right here
R-Truth taking a high risk.
As you said, Book, didn't get all of it.
[Book] Didn't get all of it.
Got caught on the top rope.
-[Book] Didn't have the lift,-- -[Vic] And you saw him
[Book] …the vertical. It's not just there anymore.
[Waller] I'm not surprised!
[crowd silent]
It doesn't matter who it is,
whether it's NXT, Raw,
SmackDown, Grayson Waller
is the most dominant superstar
in this company, lad.
I am sick and tired of people sleeping on me.
I just beat a 20-year vet
in R-Truth, and I did that on my own.
[Crowd chanting "you got lucky"]
[Waller] Yes, I get lucky every night.
[Crowd keeps chanting]
NXT is Grayson Waller's house
and ain't nobody going to change that.
[Grayson Waller's music playing]
[Vic] This may not be the way we wanted to start NXT this evening.
Of course, Grayson Waller is all smiles.
Grayson Waller is very happy with what he has done.
Hopefully, we'll get some word on R-Truth
and his medical status later on tonight.
As uncomfortable as that was to watch just moments ago,
I had a very uncomfortable situation last night.
I had to sit down and talk with Schism.
I want to welcome the NXT universe
to a very unique sit down with Schism.
Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, Jagger Reid,
and of course Ava Raine.
Ava, you've been the talk of social media.
No one thought you were under that mask.
No one thought you were under that red hood.
I've known you since the very first day you step foot
in the performance center,
and there's others here
that have known you even longer.
All of us have the same question.
Why Schism? Why now?
Nobody knew that it was me.
Everyone thought they knew everything,
and I showed them they know nothing.
I've been around WEE my entire life,
and nobody ever took the time to get to know me
until I met Joe, Rip, and Jagger.
They were the only people who took the time
to see the real me.
When I first started training at the performance center,
I suffered a devastating injury
so bad that I had to have surgery.
You know who texted me?
You know who called me?
You know who checked on me?
This new guy, Joe Gacy.
I didn't hear anything from anybody
who claims they've known me for years.
Ava, I don't mean it like that.
[Ava] How then?
Because you didn't ask Rip,
you didn't ask Jagger
why they joined Joe Gacy.
No, you only asked me.
So why should I sit here answering
your questions when you're not listening.
You're making assumptions like everybody else.
[Vic] I have a question for the group,
and I'll start with Joe Gacy.
You must be loving
the national attention, the new spotlight
Schism's receiving
since the debut of Ava Raine.
[Joe] You're completely missing the point, Vic.
Ava isn't here because she does something for us.
People have asked her for things
things her entire life.
Everyone asking her for things
that they don't deserve.
Asking her for things that they didn't earn.
Ava is here because we
accept her for who she truly is.
And that's why she chose The Schism.
[Rip] With more eyes on us than ever before,
we have face heightened ridicule
from the NXT locker room
and the greater community.
They compare us to other groups past and present.
Those are the groups could never dream
of achieving the togetherness
that we have in The Schism.
In fact, Vic, we would like to offer you one of our pins.
[Jagger] The lack of acceptance
is why we are who we are.
When you take your mask off and reveal your true self,
it's too harsh for people,
yet it is welcomed within The Schism.
We are not responsible
for your unfavorable reactions.
[Vic] I'm starting to see the picture a little clear,
but I do have one more question if you don't mind?
It's actually based off of a tweet
from Cameron Grimes
and I quote "It's sad to see Schism
has brainwashed Ava Raine."
What's your response to that
now that Cameron Grimes is behind you?
First of all, I didn't allow anyone
to brainwash me.
How dare you?
I saw what Cameron Grimes
could never see and that is
that together The Schism can do so much more
than I could ever do as an individual.
Vic, how exactly is Cameron Grimes behind us?
He didn't beat us.
He paid two guys
to win a match for him.
You just don't get to reject The Schism
and walk away.
We are committed to making an example
out of Cameron Grimes,
and we are going to follow through on that commitment.
Next week, when Cameron Grimes
faces Joe Gacy for the final time.
[Joe] The Schism is strong together
because we are four roots.
[All] One tree.
[suspense music playing]
[Javier] I know you guys left it all in the ring last week.
You guys came so close.
Don't get me wrong, you guys are great athletes and all,
but you're not quite championship material.
[Malik] What you mean?
[Javier] Take it easy. Don't get hot now.
I mean, come on. Not all of us can be "Big Body" Javi.
However, I'll give you some big body advice.
Don't waste a meeting with Mr. Michaels.
He's only going to tell you the same things that I told you.
Instead, you're better off watching my match tonight.
[Edris] Wait, you got a match tonight?
[Javi] That's right.
I texted good old HBK and requested one.
He told me to meet him by his office.
-[Malik] In the office? -[Javi] Yeah.
-[Jones] Thank you Mr. Michaels. -[Malik and Edris chuckle]
[Jones] I won't let you down.
Oh, there he is. My man.
Hey, tonight, "Big Body" Javi goes one-on-one with Big Body O.
See you out there, little man.
[Malik] Good luck tonight.
Big Body O…
[Vic] Well, Big Body just got himself a big surprise.
When we come back, Kiana James, of course, always making
business deals outside the ring.
Can she get it done inside the ring?
Next on NXT.
[Nikkita] Forget about it. I know this looks bad.
It's going to be fine.
[Indi] Hey, what's your problem?
[Zoey] What?
[Indi] What's your problem?
[Zoey] What do you mean?
You know what my problem is. You saw it last week.
[Indi] Yes. We know.
The whole world saw it.
I got dropped by Electra Lopez last week.
You don't see me pouting.
Get over it.
Be grateful you're getting another championship match next week.
Some of us aren't so lucky.
When was the last time you saw me getting a title match?
Well, Indi, it's probably because, well, you don't deserve one.
[Indi] Oh, is that so?
[Zoey] Yes. Yes, it is.
Because last time I checked, title matches aren't handed out.
No, they're actually earned.
[Indi] Oh, they're earned. Okay.
Well, you're about to earn my boot in your face.
[Zoey] Oh, a boot to my face.
How about a knee to your jaw?
[Indi] You want me to boot you now?
[Zoey] I'll knee you now.
[Indi] Yes.
[unintelligible]
[Zoey] You and I now tonight!
[unintelligible]
[Andre] I need you to make sure that you're hydrated.
I need to make sure you've got your head in the game
[Thea] Uh hu.
[Andre] you wanted it.
Tonight, I got you another match with Kiana James.
[Thea] Kiana James.
[Andre] Tell me how you feel, Thea!
[Thea] Mr. Chase,…
something just doesn't feel right.
Who's going to carry the flag?
[crowd cheering]
[Duke] I'll do it, Mr. Chase.
Let's go. Chase U.
Chase U. Chase U. Chase U.
[Andre] He's got it. Come on, Thea!
[Thea] Wait for me!
[Vic] They might need to switch to decaf on the campus at Chase U.
[Book] Indeed.
[Chase U music playing]
[Bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, representing Chase University, Thea Hail.
[Vic] Well, there's Duke Hudson,
apparently that's the new prized pupil.
Watch out, book.
Swinging that.
As I was saying, Hudson's the new prized pupil
for Andre Chase at Chase U.
[Book] Yes. See the other kid got a scholarship, yate.
Now we got one of my first pupils here, Duke Hudson.
I'm a little disappointed with this kid.
[Vic] Why?
-[Book] Just-- -[Vic] His flag wave is actually not bad.
[Book] Yeah, yeah it is.
I want to talk about that later.
[Kiana James' music playing]
[announcer] Her opponent, Kiana James.
-[Vic] You're a businessman. -[Book] Yeah.
[Vic] You got your hand
in a lot of different pickle jars.
[Book] Yes. Some things.
[Vic] For Kiana James,
what do you think was in that envelope
she handed her assistant?
[Book] I think that's on
a need-to-know basis, Joe Vic.
All right? Let's just keep it at that.
[Vic] She might be trying to buy reality of wrestling.
[Book] Trust me, it's for sale.
[Vic and Book chuckling]
[Book] Trust me, this lady right here,
this young lady right here,
she's got something up the old sleeve.
[Vic] Again, let's remind everyone
this a rematch from a few weeks ago.
Of course, Rob Stone interjected himself, Mr. Stone, if you will.
Thea Hail took care of him and then turned right around
into the waiting arms of…
[Bell rings]
[Vic] Kiana James.
Now we got this one-on-one match up here tonight.
You talk about Duke Hudson.
Are you not buying into this new attitude?
[Book] Like I said, I like this kid, Duke Hudson.
Right now, he seems like he's just floating along.
Playing with house money,
but some advice for him
is that the hourglass is running out.
The clock is ticking, son
and you got to move.
[Vic] You see James talking--Oh!
-[Vic] A little bit of trashing. -[Book] Oh, yes.
[Vic] Now what do you make of James' attempt
at some hostile takeovers?
[Book] That's what it's all about.
It's about coming in and taking what you want.
What I like about Kiana James, she's looking like a boss.
Walking like a boss.
Talking like, hey, can I get an application?
[Vic] To what? Chase U?
[Book] For this job.
Kiana, like I said, she's a boss.
[Vic] Cover, hook of the legs. Got a near fall.
Kiana James, I'm sure has always
taken applications
for all the help she can get.
Word in the locker room, though, is James can't be trusted.
[Book] In this business,
you shouldn't be trusting.
It's not about having friends or anything like that.
It's about stepping on the next man or woman to get to the top.
Because it's about checks
and it's about championships in this business, man.
[Vic] As we mentioned earlier, James in a lot of business
outside of the ring and right now is handling her business
inside the ring here against Thea Hail.
I had a chance to talk to her earlier.
She said she's so fired up when she comes to here.
It's surreal to see superstars like Liv Morgan in the hall of champions
in the performance center,
and Morgan one-on-one with Sonya Deville,
no disqualification this Friday on Smack Down.
[Book] Going back to what you just said about Thea Hail.
I'm surprised because last time she came out
she was playing games.
She wants to have some fun and she went out and got beat.
I hope that's not what they're teaching at Chase U.
Because right now she's in a world of hurt, son.
[Vic] You see Andre Chase focused on this match
and trying to shout some words of encouragement to Hail, but James
has been all over Hail in this match up.
[Book] Can I say this?
-[Book] I'm really-- -[Vic] Not gonna stop you.
[Book] I'm on the fence about this Chase U.
This could be one of those fake university selling scholarships
over the Internet, taking people's money, like yours,
-[Book] the people-- -[Vic] …you talking about?
-[Book] …watching-- -[Vic] There's a student section.
[Book] Don't t fall for any of that.
Like I said, one of the guys just got the scholarship yanked
just earlier today.
[Vic] You might need to take a visit to the campus,
see the cafeteria, the dorms,
maybe Andre Chase would hire you.
Fill out an application and become--
-[Book] What? -[Vic] A professor.
[Vic] Professor Booker.
[Book] What cafeteria?
What are you talking about?
[Vic] At Chase U. It's a beautiful campus
and Thea Hail now trying to turn this match up
right around and-- Ooh!… Nice clothesline.
-[Book] I like it. -[Vic] Now Hail starting to rock,
starting to roll. Book, has Hail lived up
to that number one recruit status in your mind?
[Book] Recruit status?
[Book] Like I said, I have
a whole lot of doubt, a whole lot of speculation about Chase U.
Is she the number one pick? I don't know.
I don't know. We gotta find out.
-[Book] We got to get somebody-- -[Vic] Oh!
[Book] to investigate the story. How about that?
[Vic] Take a look at the unique offense from Hail,
and Hail now could be setting her sights
on righting some wrongs of a few weeks ago.
She has James in her sights, and a cross body off of the middle
-[Book] Whoa. -[Vic] Oh!
[Book] What a reversal right there by James,
showing a lot of strength but got caught.
[Vic] It's that cradle! Shoulders down.
Near fall.
Andre Chase on the outside liking what he's seeing.
Looking at--Oh! Duke Hudson,
seems to be beside himself for the moment,
and James now reversing the fortunes of Hail.
This could be it.
[Book] That's it.
-[Vic] High impact offense into the cover. -[Book] What the--
-[referee] You can't do that. -[Andre] What are you doing?
[Chase] I got this!
[Book] That's what they teach?
[Chase] We got a code of conduct at Chase U.
We don't cheat around here.
You know what?
Get your ass to the back right now.
We don't do that here.
[audicience screaming]
[crowd] Bye stupid!
[Vic] Chase U is about principles, is about teachable moments and…
This might be a teachable moment for Duke Hudson,
and James taking advantage as she did the last time
these two went one-on-one.
[Book] Now I'm really--
-[Vic] Oh! -[Book] …about this Chase U.
It's about winning.
You don't put the students in a position to lose like that.
[Bell rings]
[Book] What the hell is going on, man?
[Kiana James' music playing]
[announcer] Here's your winner, Kiana James.
[Vic] Andre Chase might be having the same thoughts you do, Book,
at this moment.
James victorious once again, and let's go back.
James had a lot of great of offense in this match up.
Thea Hail, though, she brought her A game as well,
but Duke Hudson, we all saw it plain as day.
Andre Chase teachable moment.
[Andre ] Duke, we got a code of conduct at Chase U.
We don't cheat around here.
You know what?
Get your ass out right now.
[Vic] Chase would send Hudson to the back.
James, though, like a few weeks ago, took advantage
with the 401k and would continue to see her stock rise here at NXT.
Another big-time victory for Kiana James.
Thea Hail, you just got to be wondering--
[commenators] Oh!
[Vic] Charlie Dempsey!
Dempsey no love lost with Chase University or Andre Chase.
Now, Dempsey just mauling Chase!
[Book] Didn't I tell you?
[Vic] There's Hudson!
[Book] Didn't I tell you? It's going to be a lot more of this.
[Book chuckling]
[Vic] I'm glad you think this is funny, Book.
[Book] I tried to tell you. Something's wrong with this university.
[Crowd cheers]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Chase University looking to be whole here once again.
[Chase University's music playing]
[Vic] Quite the teachable moment.
Maybe just maybe in a loss there's something that could be learned
for everyone that's at Chase U.
[McKenzie] I'm now joined by Briggs, Jensen, and Fallon Henley.
I wanted to get your take on tonight's tag team championship match.
[Josh] Look. We're pulling for Bron and Wes to win those titles,
but if they can't, Pretty Deadly ain't going to be able to run
from us much longer.
[Brooks] That's right.
Those two pretty boys are going to follow to us countrymen.
[Fallon] That is for damn sure.
Pretty Deadly's time is running--
[speaking Spanish]
[Josh] Hey, man. Eyes Up. What the hell!
[Brooks] Eyes up, eyes down.
Where you want me to look?
[Josh] The paper. She said "lilo" the paper.
[Brooks] Who's Leeroy?
It means "read it" in Spanish, man.
[Brooks] You learnt Spanish?
[Fallon] Would you read this.
[Odyssey Jones' music playing]
[Vic] Now it seems, Book, we know exactly
where that envelope was headed.
But how about this big return
here tonight!
[Bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first Odyssey Jones.
[Vic] As I said earlier, it's a big surprise for "Big Body" Javi.
How good it must feel.
Welcome back to NXT to Odyssey Jones.
For the first time in 10 months,
Jones steps foot in an NXT ring.
We saw Jones pull up in style last week.
[Book] Absolutely.
Pulled up on one of your buddies.
You want to have some fun.
You want to party, but hopefully not too much partying
because tonight it's all about business.
[Vic] It is indeed.
All about business for Jones
who is stepping into the ring.
I know this feels good for Jones.
Will it have the ending he hopes?
Will Jones bounce back in a huge way tonight?
Next on NXT.
[Bron] Hey, look.
I just want to say congratulations
on winning the North American championship belt,
huge accomplishment.
[Wes] Thank you, dawg. I want to thank you for stepping up
because going after those NXT tag team titles
it's going to be tough, but it's going to be tougher
holding them over both of our shoulders.
[Mr. Stone] That's the man I'm looking for, the unbeatable,
the unstoppable Bron Breakker.
A guy who is so unstoppable
who cares more about winning the NXT tag titles
than defending his own.
[Bron] You got about five seconds to get to the point.
Listen, the point is this, Bron.
You know in your heart
that you could take on anybody on the NXT Roster.
Except for one guy, and that guy is bigger than you,
he's stronger than you, and his name is Von Wagner.
Yes, so enjoy doubling up your championships tonight
because when you do, Von will happily
take the NXT title right off your shoulder.
[Bron] That's fine with me.
Next time you tell him to come at me face-to-face
instead of sending his errand boy. Now get the hell out of here
before I put your head through a locker.
[chuckles]
[groans]
See you, Mr. Stone.
[Javier Bernal's music playing]
[Vic] Bron Breakker all business tonight.
We'll we see double champions crowned?
[announcer] Introducing Javier Bernal.
[Vic] Book, I got to be honest.
We saw the interaction between these two earlier tonight.
I'm not sure that's what Javier Bernal thought would happen
after he sent a text to the hall of famer Shawn Michaels.
[Book] The opportunity, man.
When opportunity knocks, what do you do?
-[Book] You answer. -[Vic] True.
[Vic] I'm just a little surprised that Bernal actually had
Shawn Michaels' phone number, to be honest.
[Book laughing]
[referee] Ring the bell!
-[bell rings] -[Book] You might be right.
[Vic] Look, for Odyssey Jones 10 months ruptured his patella.
What are you looking for out of Jones in this return match
after such a long rehab and come back to NXT?
[Book] Did a little studying on this guy.
Break out tournament finalist 2021, losing to one Carmelo Hayes
losing a lot of momentum,
and you talk about that patella.
I know a whole lot about that.
Ruptured mine and it's still giving me a lot of trouble right now.
The only thing this big man is going to have to do, man,
is try to get back on the horse and it's going to be hard.
You just got to take it head on.
[Vic] Jones you just see the admiration when he came
through the curtain, right there.
The former guard from the Syracuse orangemen right now,
Oh! Showcasing the power that he displays.
What is the biggest question then, Book, when you take a look
at Jones coming in to tonight?
[Book] When I look at the guy like this, he's got a whole lot of potential.
The one thing about this business is just wondering
when is the light going off.
Wondering when you wake up and say, "I got this."
Because big men, the one thing that worries me
more than anything is, is he going to be able to stay healthy?
A lot of these guys that are going to be injury prone, "a la" Wade Barett.
No disrespect or anything like that.
[Vic] He's watching closely because he is waiting
very patiently for the Mandy Rose championship celebration.
Now, Javier Bernal turning things around in this match up.
Look, Bernal.
You can't question a superstar that really believes in himself,
but does he buy into his own hype?
[Book chuckling]
[Book] He definitely buys into his own hype
if you're with a big man like this.
This big man he's back and he's back right now on a mission.
[Vic] Ooh!
[Book] Going to that injury is a smart, smart thing by Bernal.
[Vic] Bernal trying to chop down Jones,
and look, Jones came into this match up with a bullseye
on his body. As you just mentioned,
Bernal has targeted it and came to play tonight.
He doesn't care about the surprise.
He wants to shock the world.
[Book] That's it, Vic.
Plan to the smart moves right now, and that's working on that injury.
Staying on the weakened body part,
that's what Bernal is trying to do.
[crowd clapping]
[Vic] Now trying to get right back in.
For odyssey Jones, this is someone who said
he wants to pick up where he left off.
You got to imagine there's a little bit of rust he's trying
to knock off in this match up, but they don't built them
at 6'5", nor a near 400 pounds, Book.
As Jones-- Ooh!… Squishing Bernal.
[Book] Big mistake right there by Bernal letting this big man
get back up to his feet.
That's the one thing he had going for him.
He had a small window
that was opening that's closing very,
very quickly if I may add.
-[Vic] Bernal asked for this opportunity! -[Book] Ooh!
[Vic] and he maybe definitely second guessing that text message he sent.
because he just turned right around into the waiting arms of Jones.
[Book] Yes. Big southpaw left-handed clothesline right there from the big man.
[Vic] Oh! Jones swing and a miss.
-[Vic] Oh! -[Book chuckling]
[Vic] A little depleting of Bernal.
[Book] Like running into a brick wall right there.
[Vic] Bernal might be wanting to ask himself for his own big body
advice as he turns right around and Ooh! Gets planted,
and the journey may have just come to an end for Bernal tonight.
[Bell rings]
[Odyssey Jones' music playing]
[announcer] Here is your winner, Odyssey Jones.
[Vic] How good must it feel for Jones?
[Book] Oh, man.
Knowing that you came back, knowing that you did it.
That's the one thing, the one question, am I going to be the go
and am I going to be the go hard?
Odyssey Jones is back. Bam!
[Vic] He brought in the high-impact offense,
and just take a look at some of this precision.
[Book] Oh! Quickness.
There you see the quickness right to the combination.
Oh, do-si-do and good night.
[Vic] A bit of a boss man slam for Odyssey Jones
who is showing he wants to be the boss here in NXT.
Welcome back, big fella, to NXT!
[crowd cheering]
[Jones] I'm back!
[Vic] Social media readily taken ablaze as Mandy Rose is coming to the ring
with Toxic Attraction for her one-year celebration next.
[Book] Yeahhhh.
[Vic] Welcome back to NXT, and you see the ring is filled because,
because, Book, it is time for a celebration.
[Toxic Attraction's music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Please welcome Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne
and the NXT women's champion, Mandy Rose.
Toxic Attraction!
[Vic] Gold around her waist, the champagne is on ice.
Book, you have watched from a distance, but you have been admiring
not only Mandy Rose but also the championship reign she's had.
-[Book] Get on your feet, Vic. -[Vic] What?
-[Vic] What are you doing? -[Book] Show some respect.
[Vic] Why are you on the desk?
Get down, Book. Oh, come on.
[Book] Put some respect on Mandy Rose's name.
[Vic] I put respect down her name.
[Book] Put some respect on Mandy Rose's name.
Like I said, she is a true, true,
one of the best I've ever seen.
My god, man.
[Book] You okay?
[Vic] I went from Wade Barrett to a hall of famer.
[Book] I'm just telling it like it is.
You give props when props are due.
Mandy Rose has worked hard.
When I say hard I mean really hard.
2016 to now, look at the accomplishments.
Look at this arena.
Everybody on their feet
celebrating this moment, the moment of Mandy.
My god.
[Jacy] Bow in the presence of greatness.
[crowd cheering]
[Jacy] One year, one year of proving everybody wrong.
365 days of being the baddest bitch in the game.
[audience] Yeah!
[Jacy] 365 days of being the most dominant champion
in NXT history.
[Gigi] Mandy Rose is absolutely untouchable.
but you all underestimated her.
You mocked her. You didn't believe in her.
She has proven time and time again
that she is superior to every person
in that locker room, man or woman.
[Jacy] Mandy Rose, you are the absolute measuring stick
of the NXT women's division.
You fought legends, underdogs,
unified the NXT women's championships
and helped make Toxic Attraction
the most decorated female faction
in NXT history.
[crowd cheering]
[Jacy] In honor of all of your greatness,
we put together a little video package just for you, champ.
Roll it!
[male announcer] It's not often in life you get to see a work of art come to life.
[whispering voice] Mandy.
[announcer] God's greatest creation gracing us with her presence.
[female voice] Toxic.
[commentator] It's Mandy Rose. She's back.
It's a miracle!
She's more beautiful than ever.
[female wrestler] Toxic attraction runs NXT.
[Mandy] I've been called many names.
Hot, sexy, eye candy.
One thing they've never called me is champion.
[whispering voice] Mandy.
[crowd cheering]
[female announcer] The new
NXT women's champion… Mandy Rose!
♪ You ready or not ♪
[Mandy] We are the baddest bitches in the room.
In 365 days, we've proven that.
♪ You are looking into the eyes of greatness ♪
♪ Gotta push through the world is waiting ♪
♪ I will not lose ♪
[Mandy] I'm well on my way of becoming the longest-reigning
women's champion in NXT history.
If there's one thing that you people should've learned this past year…
♪ I will not lose ♪
is to put some damn respect on my name.
♪ Legends always live forever ♪
♪ You gotta get outta my way ♪
♪ Ain't nobody stop us… ♪
[Mandy] Put some respect on my name.
For over 300 days, I have dominated the NXT women's division.
This is my world! Let's go.
Mandy Rose is still the world's attraction.
[Vic] Rose makes history tonight!
[commentator] Mandy Rose unifies the NXT women's championship.
She is the greatest in the history of the NXT brand.
[Mandy] If you or any other woman out there
think that you're going to get this title from me…
Good luck, honey.
because you're going to attempt the impossible.
[Book] Finally, put some damn respect
on the name of Mandy Rose.
[crowd chanting "Mandy"]
[Mandy] Wow.
First of all, thank you, ladies.
I mean it.
Wow.
All that, not bad for a piece of eye candy, huh?
[audience screaming]
Because that's all I was to you people for four years.
I was a peach.
A Barbie doll, a bottle blond made in a lab.
A centerfold bitch.
That's why two years ago, I realized I needed to bet on myself.
I made the choice to come here and rebuild myself.
It was the greatest decision I have ever made in my entire life.
With the help of my girls, Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne,
Toxic Attraction has risen to the top.
[audience cheering]
Numbers don't lie.
Ratings don't lie.
Merchandise sales don't lie.
You people thought that I couldn't hold the NXT women's championship.
Why?
Because this title represents the greatest women wrestlers
in the entire world.
I have proven every single one of you for over a year now.
I don't just say put some respect on my name
because it's a nice catchphrase.
No, because it's the damn truth.
I've given every single woman in this division a shot at this title.
I have stepped on every single one on my way to the top
while wearing red bottoms and making it look good.
[crowd cheering]
Damn does it feel good
to have sat on my rightful throne for over a year now.
I can guarantee that no one will be kicking me out of it.
[audience screaming]
If anyone has a problem
with what I just said, you know where to find me.
[audience whooing]
[Mandy] I work on Tuesdays.
[Vic] Wait.
[Vic and Book] Oh!
[Vic] Whoa!
[Vic] Look, the smoke is clearing and Fyre has risen.
[Book] Where there's smoke there's Fyre, baby.
[Mandy] You're going to ruin this for me?
[Alba Fyre] You're damn right.
[audience] Ooh!
[Vic] Fyre dropping everyone.
[crowd screaming]
[Mandy and Jacy screaming at Alba Fyre]
[Book] Oh, man.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd screaming]
[Alba] Mandy, this week, I take out Gigi Dolin.
Next week, I take out Jacy Jayne.
In two weeks' time, I'm taking that title.
[audience screaming]
[Alba Fyre's music plays]
[Vic] Alba Fyre still wants to burn Toxic to the ground.
One down, two to go.
In two weeks, will Rose be dethroned by Alba Fyre?
[McKenzie] Apollo, last week you mentioned that you've been listening
very closely to what the NXT champion,
Bron Breakker, had to say tonight.
I think we all thought you'd be making an appearance.
[Apollo] Pretty Deadly gets their moment tonight
with Bron Breakker.
But let me tell you this, McKenzie.
A one-on-one match between Apollo Crews and Bron Breakker,
that is what the NXT universe wants to see.
That is what I want. I'm just not sure…
Bron Breakker wants the same thing.
Really? Why do you say that?
Well, the answer is simple, McKenzie.
You see, I'm a match up problem for anybody on the NXT Roster,
including Bron Breakker.
The moment I came back here, I walked down to the ring,
and I looked at him and told him exactly
what I was coming after, the NXT title.
Since then, my name hasn't been spoken out his mouth one time.
I get it. I understand, he's a champion,
and I got to chase him, right?
Bron Breakker being the fighting champion he is,
I didn't have to expect to put on my running shoes.
[Von Wagner chuckling]
Apollo, you're kind of a funny dude, you know that?
You're a match up problem?
I'm a straight up problem, period.
Don't waste your time chasing after Bron.
I know you like to look into the future,
but when it comes to that title,
I am the future.
[Apollo] Seriously?
[female receptionist]
[female receptionist speaking]
[beep sound]
[intriguing music playing]
[male distorted voice speaking]
[beeping of end of message]
[steps]
[Indi Hartwell's music playing]
[bell rings]
[female announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Indi Hartwell.
[Vic] You talked about Indi Hartwell in the past several weeks, Book.
Is this the sort of fight
you've been waiting to see Hartwell in?
[Book] Yes, of course. Indi Hartwell, she has talent.
If there's one thing I've always said,
you cannot go into this
being passive.
You got to be ultra-aggressive.
Let's see exactly what kind of aggression
Indi Hartwell has tonight.
[Zoey Stark's music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] We saw the aggression between these two earlier today
in the women's locker room.
[female announcer] Her opponent,
accompanied by Nikkita Lyons, Zoey stark.
[Vic] You see Stark letting out some of that frustration
with her tag team partner. That, of course, being Nikkita Lyons,
and this duo looking for another opportunity
and they get one next week live
-[Book] Yeah… -[Vic] right here on NXT.
[Vic] The NXT women's tag team titles will be defended
by Chance and Carter, Lyons, Stark.
A lot of controversy last week surrounding that champions match up.
They'll go another round next week with gold on the line.
[Book] Yes, indeed.
Lyons and Stark so close, but still yet so far away.
[rock music playing]
[Vic] Getting set for this one-on-one showdown here tonight.
[bell rings]
[Vic] Now there's really just-- you got to admit.
It's been a roller coaster of emotions
when it comes to Stark
and Lyons over the last week.
Rightfully so.
They thought they were champions.
[Book] You can call it miscommunication, you can call it misdirection.
Whatever you want to call it, but you can't do that,
make those mistakes and be successful in this business.
Big tackle there by Hartwell.
[Vic] Hartwell trying to control early on, and a lot of talking
between these two females throughout the entire day.
I want to focus on Zoey Stark because how can Stark transform
some of the negative energy she's feeling into positive energy?
You've been down in your career.
[Book] I don't look at it as negative energy or anything like that.
Not winning the tag team championship is one thing
but getting right back on the horse
[Vic] Ooh!
[Book] is another.
[Book] Zoey Stark, one thing I see in this young lady is potential.
A whole lot of star potential.
Let's see if she can get a big win tonight.
[Vic] There's a lot of truth behind what Stark did say.
Title opportunities aren't just handed out to anyone.
You got to earn them, and especially here in NXT.
[Vic] Ooh!
[Book] Beautiful high cross body.
[Vic] Into the cover, and a quick kick out.
[Book] She's right.
I agree 100 % as far as you got to go out there and earn it.
[Vic] I want to apologize real quick.
That's the second or third time I think we've had
some technical difficulties, excuse me, here at NXT.
I do want to apologize.
[Book] Yes. Back to my point.
[Vic] Didn't mean to interrupt. Sorry.
[Book] The only thing you can bank on in this business is your talent.
Knowing that you are better than your opponent
standing across from you.
Right now, that's what's Zoey Stark is doing.
[Vic] You talk about Zoey Stark, Indi Harwell, Nikkita Lyons.
How about the return of Elektra Lopez?
The game certainly has changed a little bit.
[Book] Yes. That's like an unexpected entry at the Olympia.
[Book] You're just not ready for something like that.
[Vic] Hartwell was ready for Stark, and now turning Stark right around
and showcasing some of the power, Booker, that you and I have talked about
off air when you talk about things
that had stood out about Hartwell to you.
Right now, Hartwell is on the best streak of her singles career.
Can she continue to roll here tonight?
Stark is frustrated.
This match will continue.
Can Stark get back in it?
[Zoey] Look at me! Hey!
[Vic] Back live on NXT, and this has been a very physical match up
between these two women throughout the commercial break.
During the break, this is just an example of what I'm talking about
from Zoey Stark specifically as Stark has really
been cranking up the aggression in this match up.
Bam, right to the back of Hartwell.
Take a look at Nikkita Lyons.
She's trying to let cooler heads prevail because Stark has been very close
to being disqualified throughout this entire match.
[Book] You want to stay composed.
You do not want to lose your composure in a match up like this
because this is the one that could catapult you to that next level.
Stark is looking real good right now, but here comes Indi Hartwell.
[Vic] What a right hand from Hartwell.
She's been much more vocal recently.
Wants to say what is ever on her mind and she has been backing it
-[Vic] up in recent weeks! -[Book] Wow! Beautiful combination.
[Vic] …inside the ring. Nice combination
as you mentioned, Book. Will it be?
Almost was the end. Nice near fall.
Stark able to kick out. You know what?
We had some big news today.
Bliss Asuka who won the WWE women's tag team titles last night.
[Book] Bam! Big kick right there.
Asuka on her own a former champion here in NXT.
There will be the rematch.
Iyo sky, Dakota Kai, Bliss Asuka for the WWE's women's
tag team titles this Saturday at Crown Jewel.
Of course, special start time noon eastern, 9:00 am pacific
streaming on WWE on Peacock.
Now, look at Stark. You talk about a combination offense.
Stark bringing her A game back out here tonight.
[Book] Like I say, Stark is in this for one reason and one reason only.
[Vic] It's to get the win.
Hook of the leg, and Hartwell got that shoulder up.
[Book] No.
[Book] You talk about earning it.
One thing about Zoey Stark, she knows she's got a big tag team match.
[Vic] Bam!
[Book] This is about regrouping, this is about retooling.
Going in the trick bag, man.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] The NXT universe right now.
It's been quite the atmosphere here tonight.
Almost split 50/50 for both these competitors.
-[Vic] Ooh! -[Book] Yes.
[Book] If we were judging this thing on points right now, you're right,
Vic, this would be a tied match right now.
[Vic] Zoey looking for that Stark special.
Will be it enough? Another near fall.
Is Indi Hartwell showing you maybe something different?
[Book] Indi Hartwell needed this more than anything to show me a fight.
[Vic] Ooh!
[Book] You got to be able to test your mettle in a match up like this.
[Vic] Look at stark right now.
This is what we were talking about. She's been so close throughout it all.
[referee] Two!
[Vic] We can hear Lyons.
[unintelligible]
[Vic] It has been eating Stark alive
over the last week what transpired
in that NXT women's tag team match.
Of course, they get the rematch next week.
Titles will be on the line.
Right now, it's Stark focusing on the here and the now.
Hartwell having Stark scouted.
Trying to overpower
[Book] Oh, man!
[Vic] …Stark and certainly does.
[Book] You might be right, Vic.
You can see the desperation setting in from Zoey Stark,
and that could be a huge mistake because right now Hartwell is on the move.
[Vic] Seeing red as Stark has seen throughout this match up
has opened the door.
-[Vic] Swing and a miss. Ooh! -[Book] Wow!
[Vic] Stark did not miss.
Connected with all that super kick.
[Book] Right on the button.
[Vic] Stark now continuing to--
[Book] …wait a minute. That's not a good move.
You can't beat your opponent outside.
[Vic] I mean you can via count out, but I know what you mean.
Zoey stark wants to earn a victory and start--
Ooh!
[Nikkita] Zoey!
[unintelligible]
[Book chuckling] Oh, oh, oh, oh!
-[Book] We about to go to school! -[Vic] …what we were talking about.
[Book] We about to go to school, Vic.
[crowd cheering]
[Nikkita] Stop! What are you doing?
[unintelligible]
You can beat her at the ring.
You don't get to do this.
[unintelligible]
[audience member] Get on there!
[Vic] Once again… Cooler heads prevailing.
[Book] Zoey's close to snapping here right before our very eyes.
[Vic] Forget about getting snapped.
She just got dropped by Hartwell.
[Book] That's it.
[Vic] Hooks both legs.
[Book] Wow!
[bell rings]
[Vic] That's a statement win for Hartwell
[announcer] Here is your winner, Indi Hartwell.
[Vic] Call it however you want, Book,
that's a huge victory for Hartwell,
but you got to go back to those final moments of this match up
for-- where's Zoey Stark's head was at.
Really thinking about where Zoey Stark's mind was at
because right here high-risk a lot of reward
we've seen that in the past from Stark.
Able to pull off a lot of phenomenal offense.
[Book] Yes.
[Vic] Couldn't get the victory, but you see the eyes,
you see the look on Zoey Stark, and that's where she started
to I don't want to say snap,
but you see some of this action,
she became a little bit unhinged.
Nikkita Lyons was pleading with her throughout this match up,
even throughout the commercial break was talking to Stark right here.
[Book] Yes, indeed.
[Vic] "You don't have to do this, do it the right way."
Try and be calm, bring back the center.
Stark would turn around.
Bam, first it was this big boot, and then the bam, exclamation point.
A statement win for Indi Hartwell tonight,
who continues to be on the best singles streak of her career.
You got to wonder what's going through the mind of that duo
ahead of their huge championship rematch next week here live on NXT.
[Music]
[male voice] My eyes are no longer shielded.
My business is unfinished.
A new order of high justice…
is upon NXT.
It's not about anger or frustration.
It's about authority, my authority.
[Valentina] I don't understand what's going on and what's wrong,
but will you be in my corner tonight?
[Sanga] Valentina, you are very, very strong,
but I'm really very sorry, I cannot go with you.
I understand.
[Veer] Brother, here they take your kindness for weakness.
Let me ask you, have they honored you?
Exactly.
That's why I'm here.
[announcer] Welcome to the generation of Jade.
[Cora Jade's music plays]
[Vic] It's been an interesting interaction between those two.
[Bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Cora Jade.
[Vic] You wonder how that's going to play out for Feroz.
Here tonight with someone
who has been done playing games for some time.
Cora Jade always has evil intentions going through her mind.
[heavy rock music plays]
[Vic] Jade always focused on one thing, that's herself.
Jade, though, in action next against Feroz it's live on NXT.
[crowd cheering]
[Nikkita] Zoey, talk to me.
[Zoey] I lost.
-[Nikkita] Okay. -[Zoey] I lost.
[Nikkita] Relax.
It's okay.
[Zoey] You know what, I'm in my head and it is getting the best of me.
Look, I'm sorry. I promise you this Tuesday
my head's in the game.
[Nikkita] It's all good, I got you. Just breathe, it's fine.
[Zoey] I know you do, thank you.
[Kayden] Oh, jeez.
[Kayden] Look who has no momentum going into our rematch.
[Katana] Gonna to have to be a lot better next week
if you want these.
[Zoey] We beat you before.
[Kayden] That doesn't count.
[Katana] You won't next week.
[Zoey claps nervously]
[Zoey] Yes, okay.
[Nikkita] Not right now, not right now.
[Nikkita] Just breathe,--
[intriguing music playing]
[music starts reaching momentum]
[music starts to intensify]
[music stops]
[Feroz's music plays]
[Vic] Mark your calendar for the final NXT premium live event of the year.
[Feroz's music plays]
[announcer] Making her way to the ring, Valentina Feroz.
[Vic] This is a huge match for Valentina Feroz.
She's always saying to everyone "welcome to the jungle."
She's in the jungle tonight against someone like Cora.
but she's got to be distracted,
can't be fully focused after what
we just witnessed with Sanga and Veer.
[Book] We always talk about the look in the eyes.
You can just tell that Feroz is not feeling it tonight.
She doesn't have
what I would call that security blanket,
like my little girl Kenny Rose,
she can't go anywhere without her damn blanket.
Since she was three years old, she's 12 now,
but she still needs that blanket.
Feroz got to feel somewhat similar.
[Vic] What are you getting on about?
[Book] I'm just saying, that blanket.
[bell rings]
[Vic] Well, Cora Jade seems to have her own security blanket.
[Cora] Who are you anyway?
[Book] Oh!
[Cora] Do you even know here?
[Cora] Who are you?
[Vic] Kendo she's been bringing them in for several weeks.
I want to talk about Cora. She's trying to get the bad taste out of her mouth
-[Vic] since Halloween-- -[Book] That's right.
[Book] Cora Jade is the ultimate gen zier,
the ultimate bad girl,
but let me tell you something, she's got
a whole hell of a lot of talent.
[Cora unintelligible]
[Vic] She's constantly complaining, she's constantly talking
as we're seeing right now.
Look, it was a wise man who once said, "save the drama for your mama."
[Book] That man was very wise but like I say--
[Vic] Put that on a t-shirt.
[Book laughs]
[Vic] Oh! Double knees by Feroz.
[Book] Right now Feroz is looking really good.
Let's just see how long this lasts because like I say Cora Jade
has veteran-like qualities.
She's so young in this business, but one thing
about her she's just two, steps ahead.
[Vic] Now she's not three steps ahead of Feroz
maybe what we witnessed earlier lit a fire inside--
[Book] See what I'm saying? That's what I'm talking about.
Cora Jade just created just a little bit of space
to create that opening right there, and right now, baby,
the party is on!
[Cora] This your jungle, uh?
[Vic] …When we talk about what happened earlier
but is Veer wrong in telling Sanga that he isn't accepted?
He seemed to have a friend in Feroz.
[Book] That's just the way it is, man.
Sometimes people feel certain ways. That's the way--
[Vic] Cover by Jade.
[Book] …life is these days, man.
Everybody got something to complain about.
These young people.
[Vic] Well, Jade had a friend and it was Roxanne Perez
until it was Jade who stabbed Perez in the back
when they were tag team champions here in NXT.
Coming up here in just a matter of moments our huge championship main event.
Breakker, Lee looking to become double champions.
That's what I mean about Cora Jade, she never stops talking.
She's been airing her voice since this match up began
and I do mean she's always filled with excuses.
[Book] Let me tell you something, man, you can talk all you want
in this business as long as you can go out there and back it up.
Cora Jade came out of a losing end
in her last outing, but tonight
she's looking 100-- Oh, my god!
[Vic] Looking to put that Halloween Havoc match up behind her.
Into the cover. Feroz continuing to fight in this match up.
[Book] Look at the arrogance.
Look at the arrogance.
She needs her own perfume called arrogance, I like it.
[Vic] Don't let her hear that.
She's going to start to throw that in people's minds as well as Jade continuing
to apply the pressure in this match up.
Look, some people off of a devastating loss
they go into a shell, not Cora Jade, she is stepping it up here tonight.
[Book] One thing about having that loss and you've got to think
about she lost to one of the best here in NXT.
There's no shame in that.
There's no shame in that, just get back--
[Vic] Oh! inside cradle, inside cradle.
That was almost a huge upset here at NXT,
but Jade turning things around just that quick.
-[Applause] -[audience booing]
[Book] Let me tell you something, Valentina is crafty.
You got to keep an eye on her.
If Cora Jade slips for one moment,
this thing could go very, very bad.
[Vic] Oh!
[Vic] Feroz again this time she's able to stay
one step ahead of Jade. Once again, Feroz is able
to create a little bit of separation,
and now Feroz looking to take a major risk and it doesn't pay off!
as you mentioned earlier, Jade always one step ahead.
[Book] That's why they call it high risk right there.
[Vic] Senton and Jade got all of that, center of the ring.
and now--ooh! Just planting.
[Book] Wow.
[Book] Look at the delivery on that ddt.
[referee] One, two, three.
[Book] Perfection personified!
[bell rings]
[Vic] Jade bounces back following Halloween Havoc.
[Cora Jade's music plays]
[announcer] Here is your winner, Cora Jade.
[Vic] Just look at the look on Jade's face.
Look, Cora Jade in this match up, she was advancing.
She had a point to prove tonight.
She wanted her name back in the spotlight.
She wanted her name to be the one that everyone remembered
after this Tuesday and she brought it, as we mentioned,
to Feroz who maybe wasn't 100 % in the game from a mental standpoint.
but Jade made Feroz pay since the very beginning,
and in the end, there was only one woman who had her hand held high.
[Crowd boos]
[Vic] Come on, ref.
[Crowd boos]
[bell rings]
[Crowd cheers]
[Vic] There's Wendy Choo.
-[Book] Time to go goodnight. -[Vic] Oh!
[audience] Come on!
[crowd screaming]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Jade-- wait a minute.
And Choo answering back.
Choo's woken up.
[wrestler screaming]
[Book] Here we go.
She's got that kendo stick in her hand.
[Vic] Oh oh!
[Choo] Get up.
[Vic] Whoa, swinging for the fences.
[Book laughs] I like it.
[Choo] Come on!
[Wendy choo's music plays]
[Vic] Cora Jade just found herself a new problem in the whimsical one.
Wendy Choo.
[Cora] You can't get one up on me.
[Choo] Let's go.
[Cora] I run this place.
[Choo] Get up!
[Wendy Choo music plays]
[Tony] Stacks, you take care of that thing?
[Stacks] Forget it. It's all done.
[Tony] Good. Good.
Stacks, I appreciate you persuading that merchandise vendor
to push more turn of the merch.
Now the Don shirt is right on that stand like it should be.
[Tony] That's right. I love it.
It's like watching my son take his first step.
[Stacks] Thanks, appreciate it.
[Tony] But let's get back to business.
[Stacks] Tell me.
[Tony] What you've got is Hank Walker next week.
[Stacker] Hank Walker? Easy.
I'll take care of him.
-[Tony] I know. -[Stacks] That guy…
[Tony laughs] Oh, look who it is.
You finally decided to go on your own?
[Elektra] Damn right, and you know what?
It feels good being my own boss.
[Tony] I know a little something about that.
[Elektra] If you think that I was dangerous before, [chuckles]
Watch how dangerous I am now.
[Stacks] Can you believe her?
Dangerous on her own?
[Tony] Actually Stacks, I do.
[Wes Lee's music plays]
[Vic] You called her a game changer earlier tonight.
Elektra Lopez is back in NXT.
[crowd cheering]
and we are set for a huge main event here tonight on NXT.
[siren sounds]
[Bron Breakker's music plays]
[Vic] Wes Lee added a singles title to his resume. The first time ever.
He has held a singles championship in his career
but is looking to reclaim the NXT tag team titles
with the NXT champion himself, Bron Breakker.
Are we about to witness double champions here in NXT?
Main event time next live on NXT.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] NXT is stacked next week.
It was announced earlier, Joe Gacy, Cameron Grimes
for the final time live next Tuesday here on NXT.
Brutus Creed has been waiting very patiently since his brother Julius
put Damon in an ambulance and sent him for a ride.
Next week Brutus gets his five minutes with Kemp.
Is time up for Damon?
In next week's big main event, the titles will be on the line once again.
Zoey Stark promised Nikkita Lyons she will be focused.
Will the second time be the charm for the challengers?
NXT women's tag team titles up for grabs
live next Tuesday here on NXT.
[Pretty Deadly's music plays]
[Vic] From the women's gold to the men's tag team titles here tonight.
[Pretty Deadly's music plays]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] As we mentioned, NXT women's tag team titles next week.
It's the men's tag team titles again this week and I got to ask.
Book, I've been waiting all night.
What do you think of the dandy's handymen?
-[Book chuckles] -[Vic] That's their words, not mine.
[Book] Right there, that just means these guys are willing
to go all around the world first-class.
That means these guys willing to put in all of the hard work.
More importantly, they do it looking very, very dapper.
They are two guys that definitely pass the airport test.
Who are these guys? I don't know, but they look good.
That's Kit Wilson. That's Elton Prince.
That's Pretty Deadly.
[Vic] Are you going to wear a crop top like that?
I don't know what that is, but would you wear that?
You talk about fashion.
[Book] Like I say, they got their own thing going.
That's called a fashionista,
in this world today.
You might not know that, Joe Vic.
[Vic] Lee and Breakker don't seem too impressed with the champions.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is for the NXT tag team championship!
Introducing first the challengers, the team of…
the NXT North American champion, Wes Lee,
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] And the NXT champion, Bron Breakker.
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Their opponents, they are the NXT tag team champions,
Kit Wilson, Elton Prince, Pretty Deadly!
[crowd cheering]
[Book] They ain't scared.
[Vic] Pretty Deadly claimed to be the greatest tag team ever in NXT.
They're taking on a duo in Bron Breakker, Wes Lee
who have a mutual respect for one another.
[audience] Go Pretty Deadly!
[Vic] Of course Wes Lee would love to get another reign
as NXT tag team champion.
Bron would love to have some tag team gold,
would be following the footsteps of his dad and uncle.
The hall of fame duo known as the Steiner brothers.
[bell rings]
[Book] Yes, I had many, many battles with the Steiner brothers.
All of the Steiner brothers.
Man, what a tag team match.
[Vic] Right now we will kick things off in this match up.
Wilson and Wes Lee.
Can Bron and Lee handle more targets on their back?
That's a fair question.
They putting too much on their plate
if they were to walk away champions tonight?
[Book] You got to understand, Vic, that what this business
is really truly all about.
Time ago, they were the hunters.
Now they're the hunted, but you want to be the Alpha male
in this business.
You want to be on top.
You want to have a target on your back
just to prove how good you really are, man.
[Vic] Let's talk about it. Both could be
double champions by the end of the night,
and we've seen many step up to be next in line to face the NXT champion.
Of course that being Bron Breakker who is looking on right now at Wes Lee.
He's focused on the here and on the now. Lee as well.
[Book] I like Wes Lee.
I was talking about this kid making that transition from tag team wrestling.
I said, he can't do the same thing,
but let me tell you, this kid right here
just sticking to what works.
[Vic] Finally taking down Wilson,
and Oh! Near fall.
Almost had new tag team champions.
Lee from behind. Shoulders are down,
another near fall.
Titles are on the line and there's some of that quickness
on cue, Booker T.
[Book] Let me tell you something,
Wes Lee has every trick in the book.
He's quick as a cat
and he's very, very crafty.
[Vic] They´re talking strategy.
Looked like they're going to switch things up
and here comes Prince into the fray,
-[Vic] for the first time. -[Book chuckling]
-[Book] I like this kid right here. [Vic] Charging right in!
[Vic] gets caught. Nice take down.
Arm drag by Lee.
[Book] Little overzealous right there by Elton Prince.
You can't run in there on someone who is as technical as someone like Lee.
[Vic] He's really trying to hyper extend the left elbow…
[Book] Oh, that hurts.
[Vic] …of Prince
[Book] Every time he moves, it hurts.
[Vic] Now Lee, we've talked about-- how about this match up
made for next week?
Breaking news being told.
Chase, Dempsey, NXT continues to get stacked--
-[Book] That's personal. -[Vic] For a huge Tuesday, as Breakker
[Vic] tags into the match up for the first time.
Look at this tag team continuity.
[Book] What?
[Vic] Look at Breakker!
[Book chuckles]
[Vic] That's what made him an NXT champion two times.
Could make him an NXT tag team champion by the end of the night.
[Book] Know what this is called? That's called showing off.
[Vic] That's called probably a bad mistake,
if you're Prince to fire up someone like Breakker.
Breakker doesn't seem too pleased, doesn't seem too keen with these antics.
[Book] Talk about that there.
Elton Prince is a kid that has all the talent.
[Vic] Whoa.
[Book] Wow, got to call that very nice right there.
[Vic] Somebody just went for a ride as well.
Tag team titles on the line.
Swing and a miss.
Breakker now picking up steam! And just bulldozes!
Prince might think he's back in Europe, in NXT UK.
Holy hell!
-[Vic] Take a look first-- -[Book] Check this out.
[Vic] At the height, and then take a look
at this bulldozing Bron Breakker. Bam!
[crowd cheering]
[Book] You don't want to catch Bron early right now.
He has a whole lot of momentum, not a lot of sweat on his body.
You got to take this thing into deep waters.
You got to draw him in.
Draw him in and ground him.
That's what Pretty Deadly is all about.
[Vic] Pretty Deadly's battle tested. They've had a lot of title matches,
they've had a lot of title retentions defenses.
They have brought their A game, as I've mentioned for a number of talents
over the last several weeks since Halloween Havoc,
upping their game each and every week and they're doing it again
in the main event spot.
[Book] Exactly, Vic. That's what I'm talking about.
Always said preparation is the only luck you're ever going to have.
These guys got the barrel of a different shot.
[Vic] Breakker helping out Lee.
Now all four men inside the ring and things starting to break down.
[Book] Oh, no.
[Vic] Double frankensteiner…
-[Book] Shucky ducky quack quack. -[Vic] in stereo. Challengers are rolling.
Champions are on the back foot.
Breakker, Lee, are we about to see double champions tonight here on NXT?
[Bron barking]
[Vic] Back live on NXT.
The NXT tag team titles on the line.
Breakker, Lee looking to become double champions.
Pretty Deadly looking for another successful title defense.
We didn't think we were going to have a tag team title match here tonight,
but they were talked into one were Pretty Deadly by Breakker and by Lee.
We got to call it how we see it.
They didn't see this challenge coming.
[Book] Perhaps not this team right here,
but you find yourself in situations sometimes as a tag team
and you just got to figure it out.
-[Vic] Wow! -[Book] Right now Pretty Deadly
in the break they were moving pretty good.
Right now Wes Lee is on the move again.
[Vic] A near fall. Lee moving a little bit better
at the moment and now trying to find
that next gear, is Lee.
Lee no stranger to tag team competition, as we mentioned,
had his tag team title taken away from him.
Vacated earlier this year
and it could be a moment here
for Pretty Deadly to retain.
Another near fall. I believe--
[Book] Tag there made.
[Vic] Yes, tag was made, and Lee doesn't realize it
and he certainly does now. Wilson just running over Lee.
[Book] It's all legal right there too.
Kit Wilson is about to lay the boom on Lee.
[Vic] Taking it to Lee now is Wilson.
All four of these superstars, are all champions. How hard is
to be a champion in the WWE as another cover,
another count, another near fall,
and carry the weight of an entire division on your back?
[Book] It's really hard, but look at this team Pretty Deadly.
They're willing to step up to the test.
Right now they have been grinding from the outset.
A beautiful, beautiful move by kit Wilson right there!
Let me tell you something, Vic, they're isolating Lee,
keeping him in the corner.
Right now, that beautiful tag team move.
Look at this big shot right on top.
Big back elbow, right to the snout.
Lee is in trouble right now, Vic.
[Vic] Like them, hate them.
When it comes to Pretty Deadly,
you got to respect what they have done in their tenure here in NXT.
Taking on all comers, all challenges and now
just dropping Lee to his knees with one right hand, is Wilson.
[Book] Got to get behind that right hand. Got to lean on it a bit more.
[Vic] Oh, and mocking Breakker.
Dropping Lee with a neck breaker to retain the NXT tag team titles.
Once again Lee is able to kick out and that was close
and now there's a sense of urgency in Bron Breakker on the outside.
He's patiently been waiting to get back into this match up
and change its complexion.
[Book] We're now in the late innings of this game
and Pretty Deadly is doing exactly what I think they should
do as a tag team, isolate Lee.
Keep him in that corner.
Break him down, moment by moment.
[Vic] You were talking about deep waters.
We are in the deep water of this NXT tag team title match up.
-[Vic] The main event-- -[Book] Oh, beautiful!
[Vic] This week here live on USA.
[Book chuckling] These guys pass the airport test in the ring,
as well as out of the ring.
They're good, and when I say good, I mean good!
[Vic] Prince now taking it to Lee, looking down in almost like…
switch flipped, in Pretty Deadly here in this match up.
[Book] Like Rocky Balboa would say "Look at the scowl."
[audience clapping]
[Vic] He has one, you talked about it.
They wanted to start the show.
They were a little peeved, and now they found out
that they had a made event match up.
They've brought it here tonight, but so has Lee, so has Breakker,
and now Lee though desperately has to make a tag!
[Book] Did you see the power there from Prince?
[Vic] I saw the precision on the first elbow drop.
Not so much on the second.
Tag was made. Wilson's legal.
Lee this time sees it, senses it, it dives out the way.
You talked about the speed, you talked about the agility.
Lee is a long way away from his tag team partner.
[Book] He's got move. Oh, he made it.
[Vic] Oh, he got through both of them, and now there's Bron Breakker.
He's got that dog face, grit with mentality
and he is unleashing right now.
[Book] Oh, my god.
Here comes the wrecking ball!
[Vic] Wilson gets dropped.
Prince now in Breakker's sights.
Sets him up for that bulldog!
[Book] Reminds me of the old man right there.
The dog faced gremlin.
[audience cheering]
[Bron screaming]
[Vic] Are we about to witness double champions?
Breakker.
[Book] He's not going to do that.
Tell me he's not going to do that.
[Vic] Youuuu got to be kidding me!
[crowd cheering and screaming]
[Vic] You ever see that, Book?
[Book] Oh, and I like that right there.
[Vic] That's 400 combined pounds.
[Book] Nice precision right there from this man.
Like I said, no bread, no water, just meat.
[Vic] Lee now taking down both numbers of Pretty Deadly.
Champions are on the rope. Super kick connects.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Breakker getting back in, running a little bit of interference.
[Book] Uh-oh.
[Vic] Breakker and Lee right now they're operating as a cohesive unit.
They are taking it to Pretty Deadly.
-[Book] Here we go. -[Vic] Look!
-[Book] What the--? -[Vic] Carmelo Hayes!
-[Book chuckling] -[Vic] Breaker doesn't realize it.
-[Book] The man. -[Vic] Pin.
-[Vic] Shoulders down and the champions… -[Bell rings]
-[Vic] retain… -[Book] Wow.
[Pretty Deadly's music plays]
[announcer] Here are your winners
and still the NXT tag team champions,
Pretty Deadly!
[Vic] I understand Pretty Deadly retained.
Breakker and Lee don't realize what happened
but what business did Hayes have in sticking his nose-- Lee!
[Book] Oh, wow!
[Vic] Lee has every right to unleash right now on Hayes.
Every right.
[Book] Every right. You're right about that, Vic.
Right now he's willing to boom.
[Vic] So close yet so far for Breakker.
Whoa!
-[Book] Wow! -[Vic] Von Wagner!
[audience] Ooh!
[Von Wagner's music plays]
[Vic] Von issued a warning earlier tonight, but now Wagner
has issued a direct message to the champion.
[audience screaming]
That vision you have, being the man around here,
it's going to be pretty tough to have with a detached retina.
See you around.
Subtitles: María Valentina Moyetta Rafti a detached retina.
